Does this magnetically fold up into a triangle, my magnets don't see to be working, what am I doing wrong?

I dont think it has magnets for setting up as a triangle, just for on-off and closing.

I don't think it has magnets...it just kinda stays via friction. Not very well either. I was not pleased as it was very poorly designed compared to an iPad smartcover.

I don't think it does. You kind of have to position it correctly... A small nudge and it's falling over.

It has a magnet but after I folded it open I could only get it to stay closed with the elastic strap.

Are you flipping the cover into a triangle around the back? Or is the magnet at the hinge not holding the cover properly?

I'm with you! Just did it after fooling around with it for about 30 minutes. Yikes! I was able to get it into it's not "so easy compact design". So follow the directions from the other comment about folding it at 9 and 3 o'clock and then forming two small circles lying on top of each other and use one of the "side pockets" to pull it over the entire thing. Good luck!

The magnet does not engage when the cover is folded back however; the cover does fold back without any resistance and it is not at all uncofortable

The back of the bar is not a flat surface. I've had problems with mine and thought that I would take it down to work on pushing the magnet forward because it is rather open.

We just wiggled and pulled at the same time. You don't need the magnet in for it to work. We preferred to use it with out.

Sorry, no. But it does fold back flat. No magnet closure for the back though. Hope this helps.

Well, interesting question: it does not have magnets but on the inside of the cover. However, when you open the cover you actually hold it with your hand to read and type. I don't see any inconvenience: it works fine. You can also fold it in a triangle, which helps when you want to type with two hands or just view the "landscape" size of it. Hope it helps.

The magnets are only along the left and right edges and will roll up into nearly nothing. It works great and would be a welcome item to have with you. However most hotel/motels have an ironing board in the room don't they?

I just fold the flaps back and when I'm done, they fold right on back to it's original place and the magnet snaps them closed. I've been doing this since I've had it and there's really no "wear or tear" to the outside from folding back and forth either.

NO, I've used a lot of these magnets! They would not hold the pieces together. The Magnet isn't strong enough!

Sorry, but mine is NOT magnetic. It's just the flap folding over into a flat loop on the back.

Mine does not move during operation but make sure when you join the magnets that the magnets are aligned. I don't know of a better way to describe this but you can feel resistance when you join them and they are not aligned. Then, over time they will align "twisting" themselves to line up.

I held mine up to a magnet it did nothing. I'm gonna say not magnetic. Hope that helps :)

I tried holding a half box of personal note cards on one side of a piece of 1/2 inch wood with a single magnet on one side and four on the other. It kept sliding down when I got near vertical. You can try but I think the magnetic might only keep it in place and relatively easy tugging or pulling would be enough to move the dock. These magnets don't want to be placed side to side or edge to edge. They snap together into a stack real fast. On the side of a refrigerator they need to be slid off. So wrap a piece of tape on then to take them apart easily. I also tried holding up a box of paper clips on one side of the 1/2 inch wood and four magnets on the other side and that didn't work at all.

You have to bend it into a figure 8, which then folds into a smaller circle.Bit confusing until you get it once. Keep trying!
